As the viewer moves and descends along the new path, she can find herself in the middle of a forest of light. The movement of the masts reflects the rhythm of the waves. From the central walkway, small side piers offer different views of the work and the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n<p>The light from the tip of the masts changes in intensity according to the power of the waves. In the presence of a storm or dangerous waves, the lights will flash a red warning. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/landartgenerator.org\/blagi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/2000Lighthouses4.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"2000Lighthouses\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Each of the masts signifies a buoy-type wave energy converter on the water\u2019s surface.
